Highland Grassland Mix (SCM9)

This mix recreates a moorland grass community found on well-drained highland sites with acidic soils. On upland sites this does not need to be cut, although it can be lightly grazed in autumn. This mix is based on the calcifugous British Plant Communities U2 & U4. There are 17 wildflower & 9 grass species in this mix. Highland Grassland Mix contents as PDF
